Sweden: 12 June 1275-10 May 1276: Duke Bror
I'm not sure what to do with this guy. I don't have that long to ponder it.
Sweden: 3 June 1094-5 June 1131: King Inge
I decided to limit these entries to one per monarch. If I had
realized how long-lived King Inge would be, I might have made a
different decision.
King Inge got off to a slow start. I set things up so my son Prince Stenkil was my heir.
But my uncle, Prince Erik, seemed destined to cause trouble, and on January 30, 1097, he demanded the throne.
My uncle is a major jerk!
I fought him for two years, freed my daughter, and sued for "white peace", meaning he lost prestige and I gained it, but it was inconclusive. He is 68, so I'm hoping to wait him out.
But he's got my mom, two of my daughters and my wife in his dungeons, so that is not cool.
I end up ransoming my mom and my wife back, but he keeps my two minor daughters. My mom dies soon afterwards.
Fortunately, so does Uncle Erik as we reach the year 1100. I think it's time to teach Cousin Sven a lesson.
He is plotting against me, so I get to throw him in jail. That doesn't work, so he raises a rebellion.…
